CIGAR AN D CIGARETTE LIGHTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 9, 1921.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FELIX GRANDIOH, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bronx, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Cigar andCigarette Li 'htthecoil on a spring plunger which is 10- cated in a base.

.erence will be had to his invention also consists in certainother'features of construction and in the. combination and arrangementof the severalparts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated inthe accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appendedclaim.

In describing my invention in detail, refthe accompanyingdrawingswherein like characters denote like or corresponding partsthroughout the sevthe head. One of these eral views, and in whichFigure'l is an elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsection. F Fig. 3is a cross section on line 3-3 of In these views 1indicates a base which carries the upright tubular member 2. The plungerrod 3 passes throu h this tubular member and the upper en of the rod isprovided with a semi-spherical head 4 which is made of suitablenon-conducting material. This head sup orts the coil 5 which has itsends connected with the pins 6 carried by pins is in electric connectionwith the rod 3 and the other pin is connected by'the conductor 7 withthe complete the circuit to the coil.

battery 8. A switch 9 is located in this conductor. The battery 8 isconnected with a contact 10, carried by the base and located under thelower end of the plunger rod 3. A sleeve 11 is located in the lower partof the tubular member 2 and surrounds the lower part of the plunger rod.This sleeve forms a seat for the lower end of the spring 12, whichsurrounds the plunger rod and has its upper end pressed against thehead. The conductors. pass through the base and upri ht 2 so as to behidden from view.

t will thus be seen that when a cigar or cigarette is pressed againstthe coil 5 the plunger rod will be lowered so as to bring its lower endagainst the contact 10 and thus The current passing through the coilwill cause the same to glow and thus ignite the cigar or cigarette. Whenit is desired to render the device inoperative the switch 9 may beopened.

It is thought from the foregoin description that the advantages and novefeatures of my invention will be readily a parent.

I desire it to be understood t at I may make changes in the constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, providedthat such chan es fall with- 1n the scope of the appended c aim.

What I claim is A cigar'or cigarette lighter comprising a base, atubular upright carried thereby, a spring plunger located in the tubularupright, a semi-spherical head of non-conducting material connected withthe upper end of the spring plunger, a resistance coil carried by saidhead, a contact in the base and located below the lower end of'theplunger and an electric circuit including said contact and the coil.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

FELIX GRANDICH.
